Terrain Tuesday - Tabletop Workshop Show (DK)

There is a YouTube channel for Tabletop Workshop that seems utterly unrelated to the UK Tabletop Workshop (Enigma Design Studios).  The latter may or may not be defunct but they made wonderful hard plastic buildings and terrain.  The former is the effort of a German-speaking hobbyist whose sense of humor comes across even with the language barrier.  My own limited remembrances of High School-learned German does little for me in this context since none of what happens in the videos I have watched take place in a Bibliothek nor involve going to the water closet.  As evidence, check out what I take to be the channel's origin story.

After stumbling across the channel and being able to see it was a fellow crafter making buildings for tabletop games in 28 mm scale, I figured I would watch that first video above.  That convinced me that I should see if I could follow one of the regular videos with actual crafting, so I watched the second on making a Dark Age Hut.

Well, since the second video ever made was the first of two parts, I felt compelled to watch the third video, part two of the Dark Age Hut build.  I gained enough from it to watch more and will keep up with any new videos as well, and perhaps brush up on my German while I am at it!

Wargaming Wednesday - Steve Bean Games and his Gaming

Steve Bean is more than just a wargamer.  He runs a "Boutique game design studio specializing in tabletop games for the gaming hobby enthusiast, tabletop & digital games for casual gamers as well as educational games."  Yup, that just about cover it, and if you check out his website you'll see that he does indeed practice what he preaches.  He plays games of all kinds and makes sure to share the info and pics of his gaming.

But this is Wargaming Wednesday on the MF WARS corner of the CMG Blog Triad, so I'm going to focus on a couple of Steve's posts on his blog that show off the wargaming he does.  First, and most recent, he has written up a report after he and his buddy Matt "decided to play some red-on-red games of Flames of War."  See more of that here.

Also, check out his "Painting & Modelling Gallery!"  It's getting stuffed with all sorts of pics of figures and models, not just from wargaming but if you're like me you will snag your inspiration from almost anywhere.  See more on the gallery here.

Terrain Tuesday - Wappel's Watchtower

I often post links on Miniatures & Modeling  Monday to the work of James Wappel on his excellent blog but here's a chance to do a Terrain Tuesday post featuring some of his fine craftsmanship.  In March of 2013, James did a series of blog tutorials on making a simple watchtower for the game table.  There are actually four parts in this three parts series and here are the links followed by a few pictures:

All Along the Watchtower: Part 1 of 3

All Along the Watchtower: Part 2 of 3

All Along the Watchtower: Part 3 of 3

The Sunday Miscellanea - The Free House, Lords of Waterdeep, & the Gamehole

I was to be in Madison, WI, for much of the day last Friday, so Alex Kammer invited me to come by for lunch at The Free House pub, play a game of Lords of Waterdeep, and tour the famous GameHole playing space above the aforementioned tavern.  The GameHole game space even has a whole convention named after it here which takes place in November of every year.  It's often called the Sister-Convention of Gary Con and it includes a ton of Old School gaming but lots of modern-era gaming as well (go see for yourself!).  Of course, I took pictures and here are some highlights below, though there are more in a Facebook album here and on Google Plus here.  My thanks to Alex, Josh, and Andrew for their hospitality and good fellowship!
